I think this week will help me think more deeply about ways I can contribute to the learning of others, whether that is growing my PLN, working on my blogging, or learning about some new tools for collaboration, in particular. My system is only now thinking about the integration of technology into the classrooms. In other words, we are just now moving away from computer labs to classroom based devices. We really, as a system, have not yet processed the integration of social media tools into the teaching and learning cycle. We have a big job ahead of us. This is part of the reason I am in this mooc. I want to be able to support teachers as they are faced with the expectation to implement project based learning, problem based learning, or inquiry learning. No small feat.
Week two….good to go.
